Ollison reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Friday, per the NFL transaction log.
Analysis: Ollison was promoted to the active roster for Thursday's game against Tennessee as Tony Pollard (thigh) was inactive. Ollison played 13 snaps on special teams and tallied a tackle on kick return coverage. He's now been active for three games this season, though he has yet to log an offensive statistic.

With fellow running back Tony Pollard (thigh) not expected to play in Week 17 against Tennessee, the Cowboys elevated Ollison from the practice squad to the active roster Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With Pollard likely unavailable due to a thigh issue, Ollison is now in line to operate as Dallas' No. 3 backfield option behind Ezekiel Elliott and Malik Davis in Thursday's matchup against the Titans. In the 26-year-old's two game appearances this season, he's played a combined two offensive snaps between the two contests and has yet to log a carry this year.

Ollison reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Ollison was elevated from the practice squad for the second game in a row ahead of Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Packers, though his only contribution came via one tackle on kick coverage while playing all 14 snaps on special teams. With Ezekiel Elliott (knee) inactive again, Tony Pollard and Malik Davis continued to carry Dallas' rushing duties against Green Bay. Ollison will now be eligible for just one more activation while on the Cowboys' practice squad this season.

Dallas elevated Ollison from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at the Packers, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: With regular starting running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) questionable for Week 10, the Cowboys saw fit to activate Ollison from their practice squad for a second consecutive game. If Elliott plays as expected though, Ollison probably won't see many touches Sunday, if any.
Nov 12, 2022 12:30 PM EST
Ollison reverted to Dallas' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Ollison made his season debut in Week 8 but saw just two offensive snaps, as Tony Pollard (31) and Malik Davis (19) dominated the work in the absence of Ezekiel Elliott (knee/thigh). With Dallas on bye in Week 9, Elliott will have plenty of time to clear his minor injuries, so it seems unlikely that Ollison will be elevated again when the Cowboys return to action in Week 10.

Dallas elevated Ollison from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Bears, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Ollison will suit up for his first game of the 2022 season Sunday. The big-bodied back is probably better-equipped to handle less forgiving carries between the tackles than Tony Pollard and Malik Davis, so it would not be a huge surprise to see him tote the rock a few times against a shaky Chicago run defense Sunday.

The Cowboys signed Ollison to their practice squad Thursday.
Analysis: Ollison was waived by the Falcons ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline but has found a new home in Dallas via the practice squad. The 2019 fifth-round pick appeared in eight games for Atlanta last year and rushed 21 times for 105 yards and one score across 69 offensive snaps.
Sep 2, 2022 9:46 AM EST
The Falcons waived Ollison on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: Ollison was always a long shot to make the initial 53-man roster after the team added Damien Williams in free agency, drafted Tyler Allgeier in the third round and converted return specialist Avery Williams to running back. All three of those ball carriers are expected to compete for touches behind Cordarrelle Patterson, who burst onto the scene last year with a strong start to the campaign. Ollison has been with Atlanta's organization since he was drafted in the fifth round of the 2019 Draft, so it's possible the Falcons bring him back on a practice squad deal if he clears waivers.
Aug 30, 2022 8:04 AM EST
Ollison rushed nine times for 30 yards and a touchdown while catching one of two targets for 12 yards in Saturday's 28-12 preseason win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Ollison and Caleb Huntley both mixed in early on behind Tyler Allgeier, who started and scored two touchdowns while neither Damien Williams nor Cordarrelle Patterson dressed for the preseason finale. If Ollison makes the team, he could wind up carving out a role in a Falcons backfield with no clear lead option at this point. He helped his case by punching in a one-yard touchdown in the second quarter Saturday.
Aug 27, 2022 4:47 PM EST
Ollison signed a one-year deal with the Falcons on Monday.
Analysis: Ollison finished the 2021 campaign with 21 rushes for 105 yards and one touchdown, while adding four receptions for 12 yards. With Atlanta returning Cordarrelle Patterson and Mike Davis, Ollison figures to compete with free-agent signee Damien Williams for a backup role to start the 2022 campaign.
Mar 28, 2022 2:15 PM EST
Ollison ran once for 19 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Saints. He also failed to haul in his only target.
Analysis: Mike Davis led the team in rushing attempts (six) and yards (30), but he also lost two fumbles and had to leave the game due to a rib injury. In his absence, Ollison played just 16 offensive snaps, but he took advantage of his only touch by bowling his way to a 19-yard score in the third quarter, recording the Falcons' first touchdown of the game. The 25-year-old running back finished his 2021 campaign with 21 rushes for 105 yards (5.0 ypc) and a touchdown across eight appearances.
Jan 10, 2022 9:15 AM EST
Ollison (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Analysis: The 25-year-old was questionable with the quad issue but is ready to play in the season finale. Ollison figures to see limited opportunities Sunday behind Mike Davis and Cordarrelle Patterson in the backfield.
Jan 9, 2022 12:24 PM EST
Ollison (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Ollison suffered the injury during last week's loss against the Bills and was able to practice in a limited fashion Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session. He had three carries for 19 yards before exiting Week 17 and could see limited work if available Sunday behind Mike Davis and Cordarrelle Patterson.
Jan 7, 2022 11:40 AM EST
Ollison (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session.
Analysis: Ollison didn't participate in practice Wednesday but he was back on the field in a limited capacity Thursday. While he's trending in the right direction, he'll likely have to log a full session Friday if he hopes to avoid the injury report for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Jan 6, 2022 1:19 PM EST
Ollison (quadriceps) was unable to participate at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: The running back suffered the quadriceps injury in Week 17 against the Bills, causing him to miss Wednesday's first practice of the week. If Ollison were to be forced to miss Week 18, it wouldn't likely cause much of a change in the Falcons' offensive approach as their top two ball-carriers Mike Davis and Cordarrelle Patterson will be available.
Jan 5, 2022 2:57 PM EST
Ollison (quadriceps) is questionable to return Sunday against the Bills, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Ollison rushed three times for 19 yards before leaving the game with the apparent quadriceps injury. If he is unable to return, then Mike Davis and Cordarrelle Patterson will be the only healthy running backs available for the Falcons.
Jan 2, 2022 12:03 PM EST
Ollison rushed once for three yards and caught his only target for four yards during Sunday's 31-13 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Ollison played just three offensive snaps, which all came late in the fourth quarter of the blowout loss. The Falcons' running game was held in check by the 49ers' stout front seven, but it remains clear that Cordarrelle Patterson and Mike Davis will garner the majority of the touches regardless of how much success they are having. While Atlanta's offense is reliant on its running backs, Ollison likely doesn't warrant any fantasy consideration as long as the aforementioned duo is healthy.
Dec 20, 2021 10:34 AM EST
Ollison rushed five times for 23 yards during Sunday's 29-21 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Ollison remains firmly supplanted behind Cordarrelle Patterson and Mike Davis, but he appears to have solidified himself as the No. 3 option after the Falcons waived Wayne Gallman. Across his last three appearances, the third-year pro has 16 rushing attempts for 64 yards and three catches for eight yards. However, while Atlanta's offense is reliant on their running backs, Ollison likely doesn't warrant any fantasy consideration as long as the aforementioned duo is healthy.
Dec 13, 2021 12:45 PM EST
Ollison was signed to the Falcon's 53-man roster Saturday.
Analysis: The running back was elevated from the practice squad three times in the last five weeks and will fill a more prominent role going forward as Atlanta also waived veteran running back Wayne Gallman on Saturday. Ollison saw 14 total touches between the last two games he suited up for the Falcons and head coach Arthur Smith said Ollison had "earned the right for more carries" after he led the team in rushing yards (34) in Week 11. The three-year veteran should see more carries now as the team's third option behind Cordarrelle Patterson and Mike Davis.
Dec 11, 2021 1:06 PM EST
Ollison was reverted back to Atlanta's practice squad.
Analysis: The running back had two rushing attempts for seven yards and a catch for eight yards in the team's Week 13 loss to the Buccaneers. With Cordarrelle Patterson, Mike Davis and Wayne Gallman all available, it appears like Ollison was the odd man out in Atlanta.
